2．One day，when I was a freshman in high school，I saw a kid from my class walking home．His name was Kyle．He was carrying all of his books．I thought to myself，"Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday？He must really be a nerd（书呆子）．"So I shrugged my shoulders and went on．As I was walking，I saw some kids running at him，knocking all his books out of his arms and he landed in the dirt．His glasses went flying，and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him．I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes．I jogged over to him，and as he crawled around looking for his glasses，I handed him his glasses．He said，"Thanks!"There Was a big smile on his face．It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude．I helped him pick up his books，and asked him where he lived，It turned out he lived near me，so I asked him why!had never seen him before．He said he had gone to a private school before coming to this school．I would have never hung out with a private school kid before．We talked all the way home．He turned a pretty cool kid．I asked him if he wanted to play football on Saturday with me and my friends．He said yes．Over the next four years，Kyle and I became best friends．
         Graduation day arrived．Kyle was valedictorian of our class，so he had to prepare a speech for graduation．In his speech he said．"Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years．I am going to tell you a story．"I stared at my friend in disbelief as he told the story of the first day We met．He had planned to kill himself over the weekend．He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home．He gave me a little smile．"Thankfully，I was saved．My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable．"I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome，popular boy told us all about his weakest moment．

17．Martin Luther King，Jr．，is well known for his work in civil rights and for his many famous speeches，among them his moving"I Have a Dream"speech．But few people know much about King's childhood，Martin Luther as he was called was born in 1929，in Atlanta，Georgia，at the home of his maternal grandfather．Martin Luther's grandfather，the Reverend A．D．Williams，purchased their home on Auburn Avenue in 1909，28 years before Martin Luther was born．The Reverend A．D．Williams，an eloquent speaker，played an important role in the community because so many people's lives centered around the church．He allowed his church and his home to be used as a meeting place for a number of organizations dedicated to the education and social advancement of blacks．Martin Luther grew up in this atmosphere，with his home being used as community gathering place，and was no doubt influenced by it．
Martin Luther's childhood was not especially memorable．His father was a minister and his mother was a musician．He was the second of three children，and he attended all-black schools in a black neighbourhood．The neighbourhood was not poor，however，Auburn Avenue was the main artery through a prosperous neighbourhood that he had come to symbolize achievement for Atlanta's black people．It was area of banks，insurance companies，builders，jewelers，tailors，doctors，lawyers and other black-owned or black-operated businesses and services．Even in the face of Atlanta's segregation （种族隔离），district thrived．Dr．King never forgot the community spirit he had known as a child，nor did he forget the racial prejudice（歧视） that was a seemingly insurmountable barrier that kept black Atlantans from mingling with whites．

16．Oprah Winfrey's own story is an inspiration because she overcame almost every obstacle that a person might face． She is an icon（ 圣像） to people all over the world because of her commitment （献身） to help those who have faced similar obstacles． We therefore salute a friend and a role model．
It is said over and over，but it is always true that young people are the future． Oprah，53，shared our views that the gains of our democracy would be nullified（废止） if we did not properly educate our children and youth． She obviously recognized the potential in our youth． The Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls-located near Johannesburg and educating girls in Grades 7through 12-is therefore a wonderfully appropriate gift to the people of South Africa，one that will endure（持续） over many lifetimes．
When I went to the opening of her school，I looked at the shining faces of these young women and thought every one of them has the potential to be an Oprah Winfrey． The school is important because it will change the courses of these girls'lives and it will brighten the future of all women in South Africa．
Oprah understands that in Africa，women and girls have often been doubly disadvantaged． They have had the curse of low expectations and unequal opportunities． She is a model for a all of them-and for all of us-of what one person can do to make a difference in the loves of others．That is why we consider her to be one of our heroes．
